Veneer matching

Veneer matching is the process of selecting and aligning thin slices of wood or decorative material (veneers) so their grain patterns and color variations blend seamlessly when applied to furniture or surfaces. It involves examining the natural characteristics of the veneer, such as grain, figure, and color, to ensure consistency across different pieces or sections. Proper matching enhances the aesthetic appeal, creating a harmonious and natural look. Common methods include book matching, slip matching, and running match, each offering different visual effects to achieve a desired design or uniformity.
